Rooms

All 10 rooms are unique in one way or another. Beds are queen size with feather rest tops on all the mattresses with duvets. The four corner rooms have window boxes which are great to curl up on with a favourite book and a glass of wine and enjoy the mountain views. Six rooms have balconies which are awesome to sit on and watch the sunrise or sunset. Two of the balcony rooms have a loft which has an extra bed on the upper level. All our rooms are on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. If you have trouble with stairs Vagabond is probably not the place for you. All rooms have en suite bathrooms featuring a shower tub enclosure and heated floors which are awesome during the ski season.
